An Overview of Process Controls + Engineering Ethics
8AM-11AM
Topic 1: An Overview of Process Controls, Presented by Karen Morten, P.E., C+A SIS Technical Consultant, Hargrove & Associates (3 Hours). This presentation is designed for engineers who are either new to or unfamiliar with control and safety systems. All automated functions consist of three basic elements: Sensors, logic solvers, and final elements. This is the first of a three-part series that will take a closer look at the components of automated functions. Part 1 concentrates on logic solvers, which can be mechanical, electrical, or electronic devices. The focus is on discrete actions based on predetermined conditions, which includes interlocks, permissives and safety instrumented functions.
